2012 Pittsburgh key players

Nov. 3: vs. Pittsburgh

The Panthers are on their fourth coach since 2010 and now it's Paul Chryst's time to right the ship. The former Wisconsin offensive coordinator brings his pro-style offense to replace former coach Todd Graham's spread offense. Two big question marks heading into 2012 include how QB Tino Sunseri will adapt to Chryst's new offense and how healthy RB Ray Graham will be after blowing out his knee last year.

In eight games, Ray Graham ran for 958 yards and nine touchdowns before eventually blowing out his knee. Before his injury, he reminded people of former Panther and current Philadelphia Eagles star LeSean McCoy and it remains to be seen how the injury will affect his on-field performance. If he is able to return to his old form, Graham will be the focal point of this Pittsburgh offense.

Red-shirt junior Devin Street started all 13 games in 2011 and accumulated 53 catches for 754 yards with a 14.2 yards per reception average. Street is known for his speed and will be relied upon as the Panthers' deep threat in 2012. Along with fellow wide receiver Mike Shanahan, they will do their best to complement Pitt's running game. The aspect of Street's game he needs to work on most is getting into the end zone; he only scored twice in 2011.
